Indyfreak's Movie Review of Rounders (1998)

Absurd if still entertaining story about two card sharps (Damon, Norton) that run afoul of criminals. Edward Norton is really good in the role of the wild card (hehe?) but Matt Damon is stiff as the leading man. His love woes with Gretchen Mol aren't interesting. John Malkovich hams it up as a Russian gangster but he is not in the movie enough. The dialogue is rapid-fire and has some good one-liners.
